Compaq Console Management Controller  
The Console Management Controller (CMC) offers one model, part number  
203039-B21. This unit is rack-mountable and is Worldwide voltage adaptable.  
General Description  
The CMC is a rack-mounted device intended to monitor and control the  
environment within a single-rack or multiple-rack suites. The system consists  
of a CMC, several sensors, and the Compaq Intelligent Rack Manager Lite  
software. With the software, you can easily configure the CMC, remotely  
receive system status and alerts, and initiate planned actions. Optional sensor  
kits are available to expand the capabilities of the CMC and include additional  
temperature, humidity, vibration and intrusion sensors, as well as smoke  
detection and electronic door locks.  
A number of sensors can be connected to the CMC to monitor temperature,  
humidity, smoke, mechanical shock/vibration, and security. With the proper  
setup, the system can:  
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
Monitor voltage within the rack.  
Monitor temperature within the rack  
Monitor humidity levels in the rack.  
Detect whether rack doors are open or closed.  
Detect someone tampering with the rack.  
Detect smoke within the rack.  
Remotely lock and unlock the rack doors.  
The system can be programmed with thresholds for the sensors to trigger  
alarms, and programmed to take action on those alarms. For example, from the  
Console, the CMC can be programmed to turn the rack fans on when the rack  
temperature is too warm or turn the rack fan assemblies off if smoke is  
detected. Should an unauthorized person attempt to enter the rack, the system  
may sound an audible alarm, send an alert message to the Console, send an  
e-mail, send a page, or activate an alarm relay switch connected to some  
device set up by the user, such as a siren, or rotating light.

Smoke Sensor Operation  
NOTE: The smoke sensor is for use only with the CMC and is not suitable for connection  
to building fire alarm systems.  
Smoke passing by the sampling tube will be drawn into the optical smoke  
sensor by the fan. The smoke sensor can take up to 20 seconds to trigger an  
alarm to the CMC. The sampling tube must be placed in the path of the  
exhaust air from the rack equipment.  
If smoke is detected, the sensor fan will automatically shut off. After the  
smoke has cleared, the sensor can be reset by pressing the RESET button for  
three seconds.  
The sensor will not detect smoke if the fan stops running or runs too slowly. A  
fan fault like this will also trigger a smoke alarm. A smoke alarm should be  
investigated to determine whether smoke is present or a fan fault occurred.

2-16 Compaq Console Management Controller User Guide  
Smoke Sensor Maintenance  
Keep the sampling tube and holes clean and clear of dust and debris at all  
times.  
Check the smoke sensor at least once per year. Use smoke test gas to check  
and verify proper unit functionality.  
Compaq recommends replacing the smoke sensor after the sensor detects a  
fire. Contact a Compaq authorized representative for ordering details.  
Door locking kit  
I
The optional door locking kit should be installed on the front and rear  
doors of the rack. Install the optional door locking kit according to the  
installation instructions included with the kit.  
NOTE: The door locking kit is only for use with the Compaq CMC.

Federal Communications  
Commission Notice  
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and  
Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide  
an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices,  
including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function  
and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and  
related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their  
intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be  
expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B  
devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a  
residential environment (that is, personal computers). The FCC requires  
devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of  
the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.  
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls  
into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A  
devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the  
device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.  
Class A Equipment  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a  
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when  
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment  
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed  
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference  
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is  
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to  
correct the interference at personal expense.

Class B Equipment  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a  
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a  
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio  
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off  
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more  
of the following measures:  
I
I
I
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Electrostatic Discharge  
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to  
follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static  
electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or  
other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life  
expectancy of the device.  
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:  
I
I
I
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe  
containers.  
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at  
static-free workstations.  
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their  
containers.  
I
I
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Make sure you are always properly grounded when touching a  
static-sensitive component or assembly.

B-2 Compaq Console Management Controller User Guide  
Grounding Methods  
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following  
methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:  
I
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation  
or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of  
1 megohm 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide  
proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.  
I
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear  
the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating  
floor mats.  
I
I
Use conductive field service tools.  
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work  
mat.  
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have  
a Compaq authorized reseller install the part.  
NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation,  
contact your Compaq authorized reseller.
